See item 2
below.

It was
highlighted that Tigers and Vikings have a fixture that they need
to rearrange. Vikings to let Howard know the details.

Clubs are
reminded that they should let Howard (in lieu of a fixtures
officer) know as soon as it becomes apparent that a fixture will
need to be rearranged, so that the website can be updated.

Vikings

RESULTS:

There has been
an error with the scorecard submission system on the website over
the last two weeks – results have not been saved when
entered. The problem has now been resolved so please could each
club ask their referees to check the recent fixtures on the
website and resubmit any that are not recorded. It was agreed
that the results of all fixtures played up to and including on
Sunday 22nd
January must be input by Sunday 29th
January.

Our youth teams performed the
best that they have ever done at the Junior Inter-area:U11s
came 6th and 9th.U13s were Champions and the 2nd team came
6thU15s were Champions and the 2nd team came 7thU17s were
silver medallists and the 2nd team came 6th.We were the only
area to have two teams in every age group.Big thanks to the
volunteers who helped coach and manage teams on the day. Special
thanks go to Andy Rutter, Carla Bennett and Francis Wollerton who
travelled down to referee.

COACHING (Vacant):

PUBLICITY:

CHILD PROTECTION
OFFCIER (CPO):

1. LEVEL 1
COACHING COURSE FUNDING

Phoenix have 2 people attending a
level 1 coaching course in Birmingham and are requesting funding
from the CKA. The cost is £70 each. For the last level 1
course, which ran in Cambridge last summer, the CKA paid the hall
fees which worked out at about £7.50-£10 per person
with the attendee's clubs paying a remainder of £45. When
level 1 courses were a lot cheaper, the CKA paid half and the
clubs half. There is money in the budget for coaching courses.

The committee agreed that some
subside would be appropriate to encourage engagement in coaching.
It was highlighted that the decision over how much funding to
provide should be carefully considered as there are likely to be
similar requests in the future and this will set a precedent.

It was agreed that funding of £25
per person would be granted, the cost to the club would then be
£45 per person, in line with the last part funded level 1
course.

It was highlighted that there are
now EKA Coaching Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
courses available and this might be something that local coaches
would be interested in, in the future.

2. MK LAKERS FIXTURE CHANGE

MK
Lakers vs Phoenix 1 match, originally scheduled for 6th November,
was postponed. Despite repeated chasing MK Lakers have still not
come up with a new date.

It
was agreed that a deadline of 28th
February would be set, by which time the fixture must be
scheduled; otherwise Lakers would forfeit the match. Howard to
advise MK Lakers of this deadline.

Mark
has created the google doc and this will become more helpful in
spring/summer as more events emerge.

-
Coordinate
a recruitment week event across all CKA clubs.

Clubs
were asked to confirm their training times, locations and logos
were correct on the website. Lucy Lloyd from Vikings is kindly
working on a poster to incorporate this information. The poster,
once complete, should be circulated by all clubs to all its
members, so they can print and electronically share it and
publicise all clubs. It was agreed that Uni’s details would
not be included on the poster.

Clubs

Clubs

Ed advised that it is possible to
pay a small fee (around £10) to promote an advert or event
on Facebook, which could increase its reach and audience. This is
something that could be usefully employed to promote a
recruitment week.

The possibility of advertising in
local newspapers was also mentioned. Howard advised that this had
been tried before at quite high expense and had yielded little
return.

It
was highlighted that if clubs are successful in recruiting, they
should ask new members how/where they heard about the club to see
which methods are successful.

- Create
a list of summer tournaments that could be targeted for
attendance by a cross-CKA team.

It
is still a little early in the year to focus on this, but it was
suggested that aiming to attend one tournament per month from
May- August might be a good target.

-
Coordinate
a team for the inter area competition. This could include team
training beforehand.

Carla’s
training sessions have been well received and attended by about
15 on average. It is hoped this will lead to participation in the
inter area competition.

NEXT MEETING

Next
meeting will be in mid-March. Jessica Skinner from Sports
Structures Ltd/EKAhas asked for an hour meeting with the CKA,
before or after a committee meeting, to update us on policy
changes.

AOB

Howard
has been advised that as of April, CRC will charge groups £15
per hour to use the classroom where recent committee meetings
have been held. An alternative venue will therefore be sort.

Vikings
are considering running an U11s tournament in summer again this
year, probably in June. An email has been sent to those involved
with junior korfball to see if there is interest and/or a
preference for a date.
